(Inanity alert) Where do you keep your ironing board?

If you don’t have one, no need to reply 😉

I have a tiny maisonette and until now have kept mine in the cupboard under the stairs, where it falls out a lot and really gets in the way.

I have more space in a little box room upstairs and am wondering if I should keep it there and just do the ironing in my bedroom? The bonus would be that I could keep the ironing in the box room instead of on display in the living room as inevitably happens.

Am getting a handyman in to do some bits and am wondering where to put storage hooks etc. Saturday nights aren’t what they used to be!

I thought this was going to be for ideas as to where your ironing board might be! Mine life's in a space between the wardrobe and the wall in my bedroom. Prior to that it lived between the freezer and the wall in the kitchen.

Same. I was thinking about it only the other day after another post

Behind bedroom door. Iron in wardrobe. As i iron upstairs so can hang straight up

Hook on my wardrobe door. Rarely used tbf

I swapped a proper ironing board for an ironing mat I can roll out onto a table. It takes up less space.

Ours Is gathering dust in the utility room, we purposely left a gap between the wall and the start of the cupboards for the bloody thing….

We have someone who does our ironing but hubby insists on keeping that and the iron just in case something needs ironing urgently that already hasn’t been done.

This emergency has never happened in 13 years but I suppose you never know!

@Intothewoodswithallthegoods hang it on the back of your box room door. Looking into the room you won't see it and it'll be handy for you if you start to iron upstairs.

I have mine on the back of my wardrobe door.

Barely used, DH wants to put it in the loft. It's currently in a cupboard under the stairs. I'd like a small table top one for the odd item that needs ironing.

We had a new kitchen when we bought our house and I had a cupboard added just for the ironing board and iron, it's sad but I love it!

🤣

Behind the utility room door - but when it falls, pushing the door shut and the ironing board is caught between the wall to The left and the wall to the right of the door it's a pain to get into the room lol 😆

Oh love thus thread! Nicking idea ov keeping it in bedroom., great idea . Mines in the dining room, but carrying stuff upstairs once ironed is annoying.

In the box room down the side of a wardrobe. I either iron in there if I'm just doing the odd thing or move into bedroom if I'm doing a full load.

Wasn't there a thread once, years ago, where someone had lost their ironing board in their house?

Our old house it was in the walk in wardrobe, so easy to put stuff away after ironing.

I have a steam generator iron, the base and water container sit on the floor when I iron and the handset on my quite small ironing board. Both live happily in my wardrobe.

In the hall cupboard. It's one of those small countertop ones

In the airing cupboard. I use it in my bedroom (rarely!) and it's easier if you can iron then put the thing away immediately!

In the little extension room at the back of the house which I use to dry washing

In the downstairs cloakroom, just leaning against the wall .. I do move it (to the garage) if we have visitors, we do have a utility room but it's so small that there would be no space for it in there.

@Itisyourturntowashthebath glad it's not just me losing ironing boards!

I found mine in the coat cupboard, tucked away in the winter coats. Now have to find the iron and then possibly dispose of both.

We have a lift up bed and ours is kept in there

I don't quite get clothes steamers - they just look like a different kind of iron? Do you have a link to a good one? I love the idea but can't see one that I can understand how it works

Down the side of the fridge freezer but it's a standalone one next to a wall so I have a gap to store it.

In the utility room, in the gap between the window and the end of the worktop...

We have a utility/lean to and keep it in a little gap between the stacked washing machine/tumble dryer and a tall cupboard. I've not ironed in years but recently a bit sick of us all looking so dishevelled so it's getting more frequent use again.

In previous houses I've kept it over the back of the door on a hanger either in the spare room or cupboard, underneath the sofa (as long as it's not visible) and next to the window in the living room as it was hidden by the long curtains.
